Self Dumping Hoppers
Self-Dumping Steel Hoppers for Forklifts in Western Canada
PAXX Industrial Supply manufactures and supplies heavy-duty self-dumping steel hoppers designed for forklift handling of scrap, waste, and bulk materials across Western Canada, including Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan.
Built for industrial environments such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, construction sites, and service yards, our forklift-mounted self-dumping hoppers are available in sizes from ¼ cubic yard to 5 cubic yards. Each hopper is engineered for durability, safety, and long service life in demanding conditions.
What Is a Self-Dumping Hopper?
A self-dumping hopper is a steel container designed to be lifted by a forklift and tipped forward to discharge its contents. When lowered back to the ground, the hopper returns to its upright position and re-latches for the next load. This improves productivity and reduces manual handling.
How to Choose the Right Self-Dumping Hopper
- Capacity vs material density: Hopper size is measured in cubic yards, but safe load weight depends heavily on material density (light packaging vs dense scrap, rubble, or metal).
- Forklift compatibility: Always confirm your forklift’s lifting capacity at load center and ensure proper fork pocket fit for stable lifting and dumping.
- Steel thickness & construction: Many industrial builds use 10-gauge sides with a 3/16" bottom for durability in heavy-use environments.
- Dump angle & latch: A proper dump angle helps empty the load fully. Automatic latching ensures the hopper resets safely when returned to the ground.
- Options: Common upgrades include casters, lids, safety restraint chains, reinforced bases, custom fork pocket sizing, heavy-duty reinforcement, and custom colors.
- Custom Applications: Because they are made in Canada we can implement modifications to suit most needs efficiently and affordably.
